PUD CAB

"To understand how a something works, you must become familiar with all of its parts and and how they function."

First of all, PUD CAB is not a new form of public transpiration.  In my quest to reduce the use of acronyms or at least requesting an explanation of what they stand for, here it is:  PUD = Public Utility District and CAB = Citizens Advisory Board.

I attended my first PUD CAB meeting today and I found it quite informative.  At the meeting, staff presented a more complete, in depth presentation on topics than are usually found at Commission meetings.  By the way, these meetings, held on the second Monday of each month, 1:30 PM, at the 4 Corners facility (previous PSE* headquarters), are open public meetings and you are welcome to attend.  *PSE = Puget Sound Energy

The PUD CAB is a larger group of community members who assist our PUD Commissioners in formulating policy, reviewing recommendations and providing community input.  The members all contributed to the discussions and I found their comments and actions to be well thought out and productive.  They were also very receptive to comments and questions from the audience.  Having attended this meeting, I better understand how our PUD Board of Commissioners functions.  I plan to attend these meetings in the future.

Check in at our PUD's website,  http://www.jeffpud.org/ , for regular and special PUD Board and CAB meetings notices, agendas and minutes of previous meetings as well as other news from our public utility.

Time for other tasks, have a wonderful evening and thanks for stopping by!
